Tom Weir

You will need to bear with the advert,

You can't beat a large helping of Tom Weir late at night. Just bought his book in a charity shop recently, now all i need is time to read it. Did I mention he was a Springburn Boy? ::):

My CV was on their data base a while ago and they called me in for an interview last year , as i went in i seen a whole office floor being vacated i asked what was happening, the whole scotsport dept had been axed.
Went in did the interview and was asked if i had any questions at the end of the interview, whats the pay i asked.
'oh erm' its a temp job we'll give free lunches and some traveling expenses. I laffed all the way out the door... Aye right STV roll on. ::):

They probably think its 'pure quality' man.

I think the station is becoming a joke, ditching shows from the network and showing crap about irn bru, haggis and shortbread, all the stereotypes that they pumped out in the 60s and 70s.

Cant wait for thingumyjig to return, shame fran and anna arenolonger with us, im sure theyd have a prime time slot.

Probably Setanta after they went bust, they had rented (more or less) a floor at the building that was vacated once they folded. Scotsport never had enough people to fill an entire floor :wink:

More problems for STV.

BBC

ITV launches £38m STV legal claim

ITV has launched a £38m legal claim against its network partner STV in a row over the Scottish broadcaster's move to drop shows such as The Bill.
STV has opted out of several peak-time shows and replaced them with more regional programming.
But ITV claims this has been in breach of existing network agreements.
The network shows dropped from STV's schedule include, Midsomer Murders, Kingdom, Al Murray's Happy Hour, The Fixer and Doc Martin.
ITV also said STV was wrongly attempting to claim a rebate against "written-off" shows which were never transmitted.
In a statement, ITV said: "Given that we are a commercial organisation, with responsibilities to our shareholders, we are left with no option but to take legal action to recover this sizeable debt."
